Here are a couple of quick cards using one of Unity's Itty Bitty stamps. I love using them. They are so cute and you can easily whip up some fast projects or use great detail on them. For today, I used the "Sweet as a Bowl of Cherries." The first one is a 4x4 card. I stamped the bowl onto kraft cardstock and used my Copics and Spica pen, then added the October Afternoon patterned paper. Around the edges of the patterned paper, I used my peircing tool to string the twine through. The second card is a 3x3. I again stamped the bowl and colored it in using Copics and then just simply wound some twine around the front.  Card Recipe Card 1 Patterned Paper: October Afternoon  {Seaside collection} Ink: Tim Holtz Distress Ink Markers: Copic Glitter Pens: Atyou Spica Twine: Rusty Pickle Card 2 Ink: Momento Markers: Copic Glitter Pens: Atyou Spica Twine: The Twinery

I love this super cute stamp from Market Street Stamps . It feels perfect for this cold winter weather we are having.

The inking technique is the blending style that Tim Holtz has so wonderfully been using. I used the Distress Inks Brushed Corduroy, Stormy Sky, Milled Lavender, and Antique Linen. I love how they all blend so well together. If you get a chance you need to check out one of the tutorials on YouTube, like t...
